Hogan Cup
The Hogan Cup (Irish: Corn Uí Ógáin) 1946-48 & 1957-) is the cup presented to the winners of the colleges (schools) All-Ireland "A" senior football championship, the top level Gaelic football championship for secondary schools in Ireland. The competition itself is regularly referred to by reference to the trophy's name.
